It’s Writing Wednesday.
Today I wrote in my car on break, I wrote on the couch, and almost at the park. The “where” of writing is almost as important as the actual content of the piece. It inspires the stories, the poems, and the meaning behind the words at hand. It’s important to try new locations and see new things. Experiences paint pictures in the mind. Mine usually color pages, the images sometimes altered, the people unnamed and changed.
My favorite place to write is by water (rivers, lakes, ponds, and the ocean). Each body inspires something different. However, I’ve also managed to write a poem on the back of a receipt while sitting in a loud restaurant with friends (currently one of my favorite pieces that I may one day reveal).
